A Practical Guide to Rehabilitation in Multiple Sclerosis
Rehabilitation is an integral part of comprehensive multiple sclerosis (MS) care. Represented by Anjali N. Shah, MD, FAAPMR, AAPM&R has entered a partnership with a coalition of multiple sclerosis-focused organizations who have created A Practical Guide to Rehabilitation in Multiple Sclerosis: 2nd Edition. This highly interactive ePrimer is designed to equip the multidisciplinary rehab team with practical, evidence-based information they can use to optimize the benefits derived from rehab services for their patients with MS. The content is augmented with faculty commentary to listen to, patient cases to follow, and a Patient Education Guide providing strategies and tools that can aid increased communication between clinician and patient. Learners can receive AMA, MOC and CNE credit for participation.

AMSSM Sports Ultrasound Online Videos
AAPM&R, in collaboration with the American Medical Society for Sports Medicine (AMSSM), is the accredited CME provider for the AMSSM Sports Ultrasound Online Didactics videos. These 35 modules were created by the American Medical Society for Sports Medicine's Sports Ultrasound Committee to cover the didactic instructional sessions outlined in the AMSSM Recommended Sports Ultrasound Curriculum for Sports Medicine Fellowships. Each video provides a concise overview of the relevant topic. The topics are divided into introductory lectures for diagnostic and interventional sports ultrasound; live video demonstrations of regional diagnostic ultrasound examinations of the shoulder, elbow, wrist-hand, hip, knee and elbow; the sonographic appearance of relevant pathology for each region; and interventional procedures for each joint. Following each presentation, you will be directed to a post-test covering the key concepts from the video. Each test will contain 5-7 multiple choice and/or true-false questions. The minimum passing grade for the test is 70%.
